<p>If, for example, your clients want to be able to “turn off” their website for a while, so they can work on new<br />
content or features of their website, but you don’t want them rummaging through the WordPress Settings pages to do so, this plugin might be something for you.</p>
<p>This plugin creates a very simple little widget for your WP Dashboard, from which the website can turned to / out of maintenance mode.</p>
<p>Activating maintenance mode will display a maintenance mode page with explanatory text for your visitors. Logged in users will be able to view the website as they normally would.</p>
<p>The plugin will automatically create a <code>maintenance.php</code> file and add it to your <code>/wp-content/</code> directory. Customize this page to change the appearance and text of the maintenance mode page.</p>

Maintenance


It was great in the past. But latest versions, besides being basically a big ad, it doesn't even work. There's the toggle switch and it does nothing!


Don't bother download it

Great looking maintenance, coming soon & under construction pages. Put your site under maintenance in minutes.
